They Found Him Out,

A young man was detected masquerading
in woman's clothing in Boston the other day.
Suspicion was excited as he was standing in
front of millinery window. The young
woman next to him exclaimed: ooh, do you
see that perfect love of bonnet?" And he
replied: Eyes, it's pretty enough, but it costs
$50. Then all the women about him

HonorIng a Useful Man.
DWIGHT 1. MOODY,
JUST FIFTY YEARS O1D-G1FTs FOR !.
HIS SCHOOLS.

Evangelist Moody has just passed
the half century in his life He was
born in February, 1887, at Northfeld,
Mass. where he still resides, and where
he hos schools for young people.
These have been established as the
result of large gifts by the few, and the
not less hearty donations of the many,
and are partly supported in the same
way. The return Of Mr.. Moody's birth
day was made the occasion of a
special subscription to the Northfield
schools.
There was nothing in Mr.. Moody's
early life to suggest that while COM
parntively young man he would be
not only powerful as an evangelist, but
O person conspicuous in religious
council and the manager of philanthro-
pic institutions giving young people of
both sexes q sound ed ucation. He was
only four years old when his father
died, leaving widow and children in
destitute circumstances. As child
the evangelist was not specially bright
or promising. He picked up little
education, and at seventeen was en-
ployed at his uncle 8 shoe store in
Boston. In 1856 he was admitted to
membership in Congregational church.
His first essays to lead in meeting were
discouraged by the brethren and sisters.
He had been church member only q
few months when be removed to
Chicago, where he found employment
as salesman in the same business he
had followed while a resident of the
Hub. Sundays and what leisure time
he did not consume in improving his
education were spent in benevolent eff
forts among neglected children of the
great Western city, of whom he gather
ed many into the Sunday-school and the
church. His success led to his giving
up secular employment for that of the
evangelist. In 1871 he and Ira D.
Sankey formed an intimacy, which
resulted in their combined work in
Chicago, elsewhere in America and in
Great Britain. They have been emf
nently successful in their operations.

About 3 in the afternoon a few drifting
clouds, apparently thrown together just over
in front of us by counter currents of air,
brought forth light shower, and the declin
ing sun at our backs produced beautiful
rainbow which spanned directly across our
route eastward. 1t was an unusual sight for
the time of year. When we at last ap-
preached within a hundred yards of the little
oasis above described, we encountered the
severest quagmire we had yet seen. All
along we had been measuring the distance

were several applicants anxious to relieve
the boys, knowing that it would add to ones
safety to have hold of chain with a man

victim. He went down to the armpits and
struggled desperately to extricate himself,
but comrade near, who stood upon q firmer
foundation, pointed the muzzle of his gun to
him, which he seized and helped himself out.
1t was decided then the eight in the party
should dispose themselves along the chain,
one hand gripped to it, and with strong
negro at each end pull to the shore. We
were about an hour travelling that one hun
dred yards. Sometimes as many as four of
the eight would be stuck at once, and the
other four would have to hold the chain
against the weight of those struggling to get
out, and ofttimes the pressure thus brought
upon those who stood upon firmer footing
would send them down, who would in turn
have to be helped out.

heaviest price she can obtain, and in using

The address urges reorganization of the
disbanded branches of the league and the
establishment of new ones, and asks that

branches and send their name and sub
scriptions to Rev. DR.. Reilly of Detroit,

OF Interest to Farmers.

Abraham Gorslin in November. 1885,
being then president of the Bohemian oat
company, induced Mayor Gates of Ply
mouth to buy thirty bushels of oats at $40
per bushel on promise that the company
the next year would sell twice that amount
for him at the same price, Gates giving his
note for $500. The latter brings and
swears witnesses in confederation that
Gorslin told him the company had $780,
900 on deposit with the state treasurer to
insure the fulfllment of its bonds. After
wards. when the company collapsed, hav-
ing delivered only part of the thirty bushels
of oats. Gorslin told Gates he was glad to
get out of it as he had known all along it
was fraud. Evidence was produced
showing the company never had any
money deposited with the state treasurer.
Gorslin and his agent Lawrence denied
that statement that such money was on

for trial in the sum of $500.
